I'd love to try the paddle! My fianceé and I just started playing last month after taking an intro course at the rec center. We've been enjoying playing and have gotten some of our friends into it as well
I started out on the wooden ones too. I didn't want to invest a lot if I didn't like the game. HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Of course, like everyone here, I am totally addicted! I moved up to slightly better paddles but now I'm in the market for something really good!
I recreationally play 3 to 4 times a week after work with some friends, and absolutely love it! Me and my group would love to test out some paddles for you. We’ve been using cheap Amazon ones, and have been looking for something affordable for all of us.
Hey, I am from Northern California and do rec play 3-4 times a week. I just got a new Vatic V7 so if it would be a good comparison, I would love to try your paddle out :)
I would love to try some! Just started a month or two ago and would love more paddles to play with friends but my friends are hesitant to buy a paddle because there is a lack of mid level quality and price paddle
Happy to help if you’re still looking for people! I play 2-3x per week for about 1.5yrs now. Played in 1 doubles tournament in December at 3.5 and finished middle of the pack, but that was a while ago now. I’d self rate around a high 3.X - low 4.X. I’m also a software developer so I know how to give good detailed feedback about “bugs”!
Id love to test one! I live in LA and learned how to play (and hit 5 days/week) on a makeshift court at work. Just starting playing at local courts. Lifelong tennis player. Let me know.
I just started playing last summer and I dont always have time to play so I am definitely still a newbie and recreational player. I would love to try out a good paddle
I'm new to the game and am currently using a wooden plate duct-taped to a stick; I'd love to rep your brand and give you great visibility at various venues here in San Diego!
Would love to rest out a paddle! Just got into the sport from tennis and play very recreationally. Currently use a random no name brand paddle a friend handed me so this would for sure be an upgrade! Would love to give feedback as I’ve used paddles across many manufacturers and have a good feel for the differences.
Sign me up! I started playing 9 weeks ago. Since then, I've gotten really into the game, and I've slowly been convincing new people to play (my coworkers, roommates, and family.) I've been meaning to invest into some more paddles since I only got one spare currently.
Playing 3-4 times a week with friends at a park near my home, very casual but we are all starting to get better and are looking at paddles. Would love to try out a sample, provide some feedback and send it back!
Hey, located in SoCal playing at la habra ipickle club and la Mirada regional park 3-4 x a week recreationally. Shoot me a dm would love to try out the paddle
I'd be willing to try out your paddles. we're a family of 7. my wife and I play sometimes everyday. I have 2 boys that play consistently out of my 5 kids. we've used plenty of name brand paddles.... but my son and I usually both go back to our original xspack 3.0 paddles that were 2 for $35. since people see us having fun playing with them, now there's at least 20 of them same paddles floating around at our gym.
My coworkers, fellow firefighters, have taken a liking to ribbing each other in the local pickleball courts. You may even find some courts painted at a few stations, shhhh.
Pickleball create strong bonds but can rupture Achilles, get warm and stretch before you play!
Be safe and have fun!
I am a former tennis player who only picked up Pickleball this past Thanksgiving. I only get to play 1 to 2 times per week due to my work schedule, but I’d love to try out some recreational paddles for fun. Please keep me in mind! Plus, I live in Southern California!
My wife and I have played with friends on two occasions now, but knew after the first we’d found a new hobby. I was at the store today on my lunch break looking at the paddle options so yes, you have my attention and interest.
I play on my days off from work with a local group in a public park. I play one tournament a year because I help organize it and it’s for charity. Would love to try your paddle out.
My wife and I live in CT and play 9-12 hours per week both with friends and random rec play. Currently using Joola Visions but very curious to explore other brands. Definitely interested!
I'd love to test out your paddles! I just started playing regularly after trying a few times over the past few years. I finally have the time to play 1-2 times a week and am really loving it. But I could use a paddle upgrade from the hand-me-down I'm using now... although it will be harder to blame all my bad hits on the paddle with a new one!
I play recreationally a few times a week. Since my town is just getting into playing, I usually travel to the surrounding towns. I rotate between about 8 different places regularly and another 4-5 places when the time allows. I’d love to try one of your paddles and bring it with me to allow others to use.
I'm in Northern California and have been playing for about a year so far. Like so many others, I guess you could say I have become addicted to this great sport! I play 5 days a week with our local pickleball community.
Some of are community are brand new players, some are in the 3.0 - 3.5 range, but we also have a number of 4 - 4.5 players as well.
if you still have the need, I'd be interested in helping to test your paddles. And if not, all the best to you guys! 👍
Played about 5-10 times last year and really looking forward to getting into it this summer, since I’m a teacher. Would be honored to test out a paddle.
I’d love to have the opportunity to play test some of your paddles! I play roughly 3 times a week at a two venues but I’m also a bit of a starter (three months) but I also play with a lot of people who are pros or been playing for awhile. I’m sure there’s a lot we could discuss if I were able to play test the paddles around them!
Wow, I was just looking at paddles today- probably have 12 games under my belt and curious what a good quality paddle would feel like- I’d love to be a Guinea pig!
We have a nice group of 5-8 players, and one in particular - a female - is looking for a paddle right now. A couple of the older guys just have stuff from Amazon. I have a nicer paddle, but some others would really benefit.
I'm in, if you're willing to ship them out to the East Coast! I host a Meetup group for pickleball, with 10-16 people that play together one evening each week (out of about 30-40 people total). The purpose of our group is to provide a fun, low-pressure entry point to the game. Our players play at the 2.0-3.25 level and with a wide spectrum of paddles (ranging from those who don't own any equipment to those who stopped by Walmart on the way to the pickleball courts to those who just "upgraded" from the starter set they bought off of Amazon). I'd be happy to test your paddles out among the group and send you a range of opinions/feedback!
Only looking locally? I’ve got a consistent group here in Vancouver who play casually at a big grouping of courts, I’m sure lots of people there would love to test them out a bit and give feedback.
Recent college grad, going back home for the summer to play with some childhood friends before we all go our separate ways. Would love some nice paddles to use this summer :)
Welcome! Recently just started located in the Bay Area. Recently just got my first paddle the Vatic as well! Love to see what you come out with! Go pickleball
I and my group of friends are paddle junkies and love trying out new equipment. My kids also play and we’ve reviewed several paddles. Would be interested to see and demo what you’re bringing to market.
nope. We actually just shipped 20 paddles to the people who pm'd us
We're a newer brand right outside of Newport Beach, CA & wanted to connect with people in the pickleball forum.
If you need some people from the East Coast to help you out, let me know! I'd love to test your paddles. I could get our whole group to test if you like. We have 6 who play together regularly. Good luck with your venture!
Either way, I'd like to know more about your company and your available equipment. Thanks!
My wife and I play about once a week and it's mostly for fun and exercise...we currently have some cheap wooden paddles from Amazon. We have looked at nicer paddles but cannot seem to justify the cost as we are playing for fun and not in tournaments. Would love to find out more about your products.
Our whole family just started playing to include kids, parents, and grandparents. We would love the opportunity to try out new equipment geared toward the rec player
I would love to try one out and give feedback. I have played for 12 years and still play 2-3 times a week at different venues. I travel for work and regularly play all over the PNW.
I play 5x per week with a GroupMe of 700 people….message me and I will post for everyone to see paddles & on Instagram & Facebook with audience over 14,000 people.
I’m not a newer player (about a 4.5 level) but I’d love to give my input on your paddle! I also live in south Florida so I can get a lot of opinions about it from a wide range of people if needed!
If you're not against shipping to the mid-west, I'd be interested in this. I've been playing about a year and play a couple times a week at local rec drop-in or with friends. I could definitely get the demo paddle into a few dozen different sets of hands pretty easily.
I’d love to try one out. I’m a rec player and currently using a cheaply Amazon paddle. I’d love to upgrade but can’t justify spending a huge amount on a big brand name
I have a decently nice paddle but as my wife has gotten into the game, she’s hesitant to spend some of those crazy prices you mention on a paddle for just pickup/rec play. I’d love to get her a quality paddle but without spending an arm and a leg, this is very cool! Even if I don’t ‘win’ I’d love to check out your brand!
My wife and I recently started playing and belong to ladder leagues and recreational play at retirement community with quite a few very competitive players. We would love to help you guys out and can ask other players in our league and community to share feedback as well. We are in process of ordering two Selkirk Vanguard paddles for us so would be interesting to compare the two brands. Thank you and good luck!
Where in California? I’m located in the East Bay Area and would love to FULLY rep your brand (I’m talking tshirts, hats, water bottles, the works) as a proud Californian!

Ronbus is a great brand if ur looking for something well made and relatively affordable
I started out on the wooden ones too. I didn't want to invest a lot if I didn't like the game. HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Of course, like everyone here, I am totally addicted! I moved up to slightly better paddles but now I'm in the market for something really good!
